Sam @ Dearne Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 Boho and Wig and Pen are both ones I was thinking of too. If we look at most of the venues mentioned they have all appeared in the last year (exception of W&P). I totally agree that Leeds and Manchester are years ahead of Sheffield in the 'going out' area. But it has certainly got better than the old Sheffield I remember. I am interested to see what happens when all the new city centre flats are built and what impact this has on the demographics and nightlife. What about further out of town, like Ecclesall Road, Abbeydale Road and the 'suburbs'? Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Originally posted by SlinkyMinky I totally agree that Leeds and Manchester are years ahead of Sheffield in the 'going out' area. That's because Leeds and Manchester have yet to twig that Staying In is the new Going Out. Me and my Urban Socialite friends meet up, away from the slack-jawed gazing of the public at large, at private venues. No doormen, over priced drinks, Astrud Gilberto muzak, or dodgy decor. Much nicer, much more welcoming. Much lower DF factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/b] A lot of the West One flats are now rented out to students - there just wasnt the demand from the supposed young "urbanites" (though the Telegraph, Exposed and other such mags with an interest in pushing the "urban" lifestyle are a little quiet about that....)

sham71 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I agree Jake. The only viable future for the majority of the city centre flats is as student accomodation in the long run. Do we really want the city centre becoming a student ghetto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think thats rubbish. Why would Sheffield go a different way to Manchester and Leeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonJParr Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Originally posted by SlinkyMinky Cooked to perfection in my mind, means it has been cooked how I like and more importantly how I asked. I think this is the difficult bit. We have all had steaks under or over done. I have worked as a chef myself cooking many a steak and know its not always easy. Slinky I really think you're wrong there Slinky - it really isn't difficult to cook a steak. All you have to do is use the three finger principle and it always comes out perfect.

JohnM Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Originally posted by Guderian I personally think thats rubbish. Why would Sheffield go a different way to Manchester and Leeds? Economics & History... Sheffield was traditionally a heavy industry city and so never had the same commercial, legal & financial sectors that the other two cities have had.. there just aren't the jobs in Sheffield that pay the wages of jobs in Leeds & Manchester...

Dug Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Crystal, your joking right? It's a chav bar. A place for those who are wannabes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say that about all those kinds of bars, Nonna's is a great example of bar bashing by this forum. The biggest hang out for wannabees in my mind is Champs, they ooze out of that place and I always feel uneasy when I have been in, as if you are part of a fashion parade or competition. Is there no, really cool, laid back, quality establishment, that isn't too far up its own ar$e and doesn't create a 'them' and 'us' feeling in the forum? That may just be the most difficult question ever posed here!!! Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genesiscouch Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Yes but we're not going to tell you errr does that make it "us" and "them" then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
